SafePro kitchen fire extinguisher for cooking oil and fat fires
Burning cooking oil is one of the hardest fires to deal with in a kitchen: water makes it flare up, and the oil stays hot enough to catch fire again. A kitchen fire extinguisher of the K type is made for exactly this. The SafePro kitchen fire extinguisher uses a wet chemical that is sprayed gently onto the oil, where it forms a soapy layer on top and helps cool it down. The manufacturer lists it for Class K (also called Class F) fires.

Food courts and catering units
MS or SS body for a kitchen?
The MS body is painted mild steel and is the economical pick. The SS body is stainless steel, which matches commercial kitchen equipment, is easy to wipe down and stands up better to steam and moisture. Many hotel kitchens choose SS for that reason.
Which size?
A 1 Ltr or 2 Ltr unit suits a home kitchen or a small cart. Cafes and small restaurants often use 4 Ltr or 6 Ltr. Large kitchens with many fryers use 9 Ltr units, placed near the cooking line but not right above the burners. Keep an ABC fire extinguisher or a CO2 extinguisher close by for the electrical and gas side of the kitchen.

Why not use a normal ABC extinguisher on a fryer fire?
Powder can knock the flames down, but it does not cool the oil much, so the oil can catch fire again. The wet chemical in a K type unit is meant for this kind of fire.
Should I throw water on burning oil?
No. Water sinks under the hot oil, turns to steam and throws burning oil out of the pan. Switch off the gas if it is safe to do so and use a K type extinguisher.
Is a K type extinguisher useful at home?
Yes. A 1 Ltr or 2 Ltr unit is small enough for a home kitchen and handles the frying pan fire that is common in Indian homes.
Where should it be mounted?
On a wall near the exit side of the cooking area, within easy reach, so you do not have to reach over the flames to get it.
